Kaycee and Emily, who have been creating content for eleven and eight years respectively, shared unhappy experiences online, saying that most of these negative online comments are attacks based on prejudice about their phys

29、mediated society.These content creators pointed out, however, that they do recognize the difference between constructive criticism and toxicity(毒舌). Kaycee said that if it is “definitely more than welcome” when the feedback is about the background noise in her latest vlog or how close the camera is

39、 steal boards, that is not what we have in mind.”The new socially conscious robot can learn who is the owner from clear statements as well as its own observations. The robot learns its behaviors from direct orders and generalizing from specific examples. For instance, if the robot is told not to tou
40、ch several objects that it knows belong to specific people, the robot will deduce that, as a general rule, it should not touch the owned objects.Artificial Intelligence expert Xuan Tan and colleagues at Yale University found out how the robot reacts in experiments with blocks on a table. In one sess
41、ion, Tan played with only the red blocks, leading the robot to be aware that these blocks belonged to the same person. When Tan instructed the robot to throw away everything on the table and the machine reached for a red block, Tan stopped the robot, saying, “Thats mine.” Now realizing that it shoul
42、d not throw Tans stuffs, and assuming that the rest of the red blocks was possessed by Tan as well, the robot cleared the table of everything except the red blocks.Later, when Tans colleagues Jake Brawer repeated the same move by directing the robot to throw away a red block, the intelligent robot r
